Repair of the foundation of the house can be very expensive, as well as affect your home’s resale value.
Electrical Damage: Rodents are a complete nuisance as they gnaw on whatever they find. These pests love chewing on electrical wires. Repeated biting damages the electrical cables and can lead to exposing the internal wiring inside the cord, which can lead to serious injuries or a fire hazard too.
Fabric Damage: Fabric feeders are the most annoying pests as they damage anything from your expensive clothes to expensive furnishings like linen, bedding, bedsheets, etc. Some of these pests are – moths, rodents, termites, carpet beetles, etc. These pests also damage expensive rugs and carpets that are used as home decor.
Furniture Damage: Pests like moths, beetles, termites, spiders, and carpenter ants love to take shelter inside expensive furniture and damage them with time.
